Minecraft is a game released by Mojang Studios. It is a 3D sandbox game with a blocky aesthetic centered around gathering resources to survive from environmental hazards or hostile mobs, exploring the randomly generated terrain, and creating worlds and sculptures using a variety of colorful blocks and tools, though the objective is largely based on the player's direction. It was originally released as an indie game for the PC and handheld devices on November 18, 2011. The Wii U version of the game, known as Minecraft: Wii U Edition, was originally released for the Nintendo eShop on December 17, 2015,[4] and later released with a physical edition on June 17, 2016.[5] A Nintendo Switch port, known as Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition, was released for the Nintendo eShop on May 11, 2017.[6] Aside from the different controls and an increased map size, it is otherwise identical to the Wii U game. An edition of Minecraft for the New Nintendo 3DS, simply titled Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition, was launched on September 13, 2017.
The original game includes references to the Mario franchise, such as a painting featuring 100m from Donkey Kong (which was based on a painting by Kristoffer Zetterstrand), and the Wii U, New Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo Switch editions keeps these references. All three Nintendo versions of the game feature an exclusive Mario-themed reskin, Super Mario Mash-up, which was also released alongside the Wii U and Nintendo Switch physical editions.[5]
The Nintendo Switch version, simply titled Minecraft, was released digitally and physically on June 21, 2018. The new version allows cross-play with other platforms, namely Android, iOS, iPadOS, Fire, Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, which shares the same codebase known as "Bedrock" (originated from Minecraft: Pocket Edition). Players who purchased the Nintendo Switch port can have an option to upgrade to the new version for free.
Minecraft: Wii U Edition was discontinued after its final update in 2018 along with other legacy console platforms except for PS4. Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition was also discontinued on January 15, 2019.
Steve, Alex, a Zombie, and an Enderman from Minecraft all appear as playable DLC characters (the latter three being alternate costumes of Steve) in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, along with a stage based on Minecraft, Minecraft World.
Pre-release and unused content
Unused images (presumably intended for use in the digital manual) in the files for Minecraft: Wii U Edition show that different skins were originally going to be used, rather than the ones in the final version. These include Hooktail as the Ender Dragon instead of Gobblegut, Midbus as the Pigs, and Yoshi as the Horses. Another image shows the Ender Chest with a Mr. I-themed design, rather than the Shy Guy-themed design it has in the release version. Zombie Villagers were originally Boomerang Bros, though they were changed in an update to Hammer Bros. wearing the clothes of the Pianta they were before they were transformed.
